Has anyone begun watching Prof. Peterson's Biblical ser

>>3025554

First off, criticisms.

1. He rambles faaar too much and is in a serious need of sticking to some freaking bullet points. I don't know if this holds true for his lectures (I've only really read his book), but he is scatterbrained as all hell, and you can't escape the notion that he feels the need to expand on every idea that he feels in impulse. For this reason, you feel that this series will only be good after someone takes the scissors and paste approach of JUST cutting out the bits where he interprets the lines. I get that he has to expand here and there, but its like every time he talks he has to lay out the entirety of Maps of Meaning.

2. You can tell the public attention is starting to get to his ego. He begins the Cain & Abel lecture by both comparing himself to Socrates and then reading a letter where some degenerate hippy chick called him a shaman. He's reveling in it and I hope this doesn't permanently alter his behavior.

3. His same tendencies toward BSing shit he doesn't know about (this really comes out in the Q&As at the end) tend to hurt the overall message

That said,

When he is illustrating the passages, I'm quite entranced. Ever since reading Tolstoy's Gospels in Brief where T. kinda does the same but with the New Testament, I've felt the impulse to read into the Bible in the same archetypal manner. But here already we have someone who has passionately read the work in a manner that for me feels like reading the stories for the first time. Gorgeous stuff, and honestly a takeaway I might find hard to top.

In essence:
"There's the Fall into history, and then there's the discovery of sacrifice as a medication of the Fall. And then there's a counterposition which is the emergence of malevolence as the enemy of sacrifice"

JP is Reddits guy. He even did an "AMA" on Reddit that I was linked to because I am not a Le Dditer.
I think you Reddit using fuckers need to shut up about your idol.
